Mine would be Laura Wilkinson's last dive in 10M platform diving. It was her last dive of her career.

There are so many great moments:

-Togo and Afghanistan got their first ever Olympic medals

-Mongolia got its first gold medal

-India got their first gold since the 1980 games in Moscow!

-The softball upset: Japan beating the USA. It was such a surprise, and actually will serve softball well when they try to reinstate it for 2016. It sends the message that the United States is not the only nation that plays this game!

-Michael Phelps winning his golds

-The man from Tunisia winning a swimming gold; an upset for Australia AND the first swimming medal for Tunisia.

-Usain Bolt

-Kitajima confirming his position as the best breast stroke swimmer!

-The Opening Ceremony. (I know a lot of people are trying to tear it apart, but the truth is that it was phenomenal! So many of the stunts and special affects were PEOPLE rather than technology! That's impressive!

This has been an AMAZING Olympics, actually!

Some that may still happen:

-If China wins the next diving gold medal, a clean sweep in diving will be a great moment

-If South Korea beats Cuba again in baseball to win the gold medal, this will be a great moment!

Outside the common picks, it was cool seeing a guy from the country of Togo, in one of the kayak games, win the first medal ever for his country, and see him excitedly snap his ore right in half over it. lol

Phelps winning his 8th gold medal and Phelp's 100M butterfly race. I also have several others but those are the best two!

The best part of the Olympics is always the Closing Ceremony.

I don't know why people are giving thumbs down to peoples favorite olympic memories.

But I liked them all but my favorite was when Bolt beat the world record 2 times.

I loved when Natalie du Toit of South Africa removed her prosthetic leg in order to participate in the 10k open water swim race. Seen her entering into the water & then when she reached the end was sooo inspiring.

I also loved when Rohullah Nikpai of Afghanistan won their first medal ever in taekwondo. It was a bronze one, but for his entire country it felt like a gold & they had a moment where they could smile & think about something else besides war.
